Before you order
This page gathers what Sun Home publishes about the Pod, checked Oct 16, 2026, and adds up what it costs to install.
Who should buy the Pod?
The Pod suits one person with a small corner to give, since the round cabin is about 40 inches across. Sun Home places ten far-infrared heaters around you, including the floor and the seat, adds a red light panel and rates it to 165°F (74°C).
SaunaSpace's FireLight is a one-person near-infrared sauna that folds away, built in Columbia, Missouri. For two people and red light, look at the Eclipse.
What does it take to install?
It stands about 78 inches tall and weighs 385 pounds assembled. A dedicated 120V, 20-amp circuit with a NEMA 5-20 outlet runs it. Sun Home says two people can uncrate and assemble it in about 90 minutes.

The Sun Home Pod 1-Person Indoor Red Light & Infrared Sauna is an infrared cabin. Its panels warm your body directly while the air holds around 113–140°F (45–60°C), so sessions run 30 to 45 minutes. A traditional sauna heats the air to 176–212°F.
What to know before you buy
Cedar, far-infrared, red light, 120V dedicated. These decide whether it suits your space and your electrical panel.
- CedarCedar resists rot and insects naturally, and it's aromatic. It conducts heat poorly, so the benches stay cool enough to sit on in a hot room.
- Far-InfraredFar-infrared heats your body directly while the air stays at 113–140°F (45–60°C). It draws less power, and many cabins run on a normal household outlet.
- 120V Dedicated CircuitThis model plugs in at 120V on a circuit of its own, through a heavier-duty outlet than a standard wall socket. If your home doesn't have one, an electrician adds the circuit and the outlet.
